Lets back millward : Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:17 pm  

Come on cas fans lets get behind millward. He is trying to instill a professional culture to ourggreat club.its the players letting us down not him. The players attitude has to be questioned.
The players do not seem bothered about their performances on the field. Lets get rid of chase and get somebody who is more bothered about playing than going out on the drink

So much wrong there

It's amazing how the players showed a lot more effort under Matterson...Millward is the problem, a new coach is needed - getting rid of the best player in the team is NOT the answer and suggesting such is absurd.

If you want to question anybodies attitude - question Millward's, his pig headed attitude has turned players not only against him but the club, he is the problem and he is ruining the club.

The trouble is some of the players are at the end of contracts and arnt worth renewing.Then you have the situation where some players are out on the lash according to some.Now if you think Millward should let players get away with being on the lash somethings wrong.If you want to see what being out on the lash does then take a look at boxing and Kirkland Laing.What a gifted boxer who beat the great Duran when at the top the guy should have been talked about as the greatest ever but alas being on the lash was his downfall.The other thing is how much would it cost to pay Millward out if you sacked him.As at Wakey Im not convinced Agar has it but you have to give them a chance to the end of next season.

Paying off Millward would be well worth the price of missing out on a couple of players that year, addition by subtraction.

The club has been set back 3 years (at least) on the pitch already under this idiot.

Disagree with you Gronk. We have so many players coming off contract this year who are either retiring (Orr?, Jackson, Jones, Hudson, Youngquest), players who know they won't get a new deal at the club (McGoldrick, Snitch, Griffin) or players that were leaving at the end of their contracts (Arundel, Ferres) that they're not going to give 100%. I think Millward should be judged on next season when he has had a chance to bring in some of his own signings. We have got to be positive about the signings of Shenton, Webster, Ellis and Gilmour with more to come. I think we still lack a "Willie Manu" type second row forward, 2 wingers (one if we sign Rhys Williams) and a loose forward. Let's get behind the club, starting with Sunday's game v Huddersfield

Stick with Millward and you will be competitive next season He will have his own players in that want to get better and will work with him and not be doing things that Puts your club in the lime light for all the wrong reasons ( there's worse to come you all no that ) If things change at work you got to change with them if you are proud at what your doing. Big contract players to go Millward brings in his own you will play well then all this season will be forgotten about

Re: Lets back millward : Tue Jul 03, 2012 3:07 pm  

we played a winger at fullback another winger at centre a secondrower at centre another secondrower at halfback and a srumhalf at hooker.
With a onloan player and a junior playing on the wings also when we had two perfectly good wingers available, looking at that line-up i made a prediction.
We won't be able to string two passes together and we won't score more than 10 points.
I went to work lastnight without seeing any of the match and came home to see i was spot on..
There is a reason you need a fullback two wingers two centres a standoff a scumhalf a hooker two props two secondrowers and a loose forward in your side maybe someone should explain that to Millward.
That wasn't even a rugby league team we put out on the pitch.
Nobody on this forum will ever convince me Millward is a good coach!

When do the players accept any responsibility. Give basil a chance,next season we will see what mmillward is made of.
Hope rangi was pleased with his contribution against widnes

Re: Lets back millward : Wed Jul 04, 2012 11:56 am  

So is it basils fault that half the team dont even attempt to tackle around the legs and go for the flapping arms up top approach which just gets shrugged off from the opposition. Come on get real half the players cant be bothered and just want the season to end. If I was basil I would drop the dead wood and put in some under 20's who would try their best. I dont mind getting beat if the team give 100% but at present that is not the case so give someone else a chance basil.
I think next season will be a different story and with the signings weve made if we dont make the top 8 I would be suprised.

Re: Lets back millward : Wed Jul 04, 2012 12:21 pm  

'If' and I do mean 'IF' it is the players fault and not Basil's, why hasn't the guy got the balls or self respect to sack half of them with immediate effect. It's just a matter of saying you...you and you, I don't care when your contract ends...your not pulling your weight...you've been given more than a fair chance and I'm not having you pulling the rest of the team down....(Lord Alan Voice)...YOU'RE FIRED!

Go to the U20's and say who can you give me for the remainder of the season? Get on the phone to Brierley and say...I've been under a lot of criticism for not playing you in certain key games.....well here's you're big chance.

I'd have more respect for the guy if he had the balls to do this. Otherwise.....he's just a toothless Tiger! A coach with no power, no respect and seemingly no clue!

....and I dread to think what scrutiny he will come under if things get off to a bad start next year, or will it be...well he needs time for the team to gel etc etc.
